The Saguaro Cactus is a large, iconic cactus native to the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern United States. It can grow to be quite tall, reaching heights of up to 40 feet and living for over 150 years. The cactus has a distinctive shape, with tall arms that extend upward, resembling a giant green tree. Its beautiful white flowers bloom in late spring and attract various pollinators, including bees and bats. These cacti are not just visually striking; they also play a crucial role in their ecosystem. The Saguaro provides shelter and food for many desert animals, such as birds and small mammals. Additionally, its fleshy body stores water, helping it survive in the harsh desert climate.
